Your match is ready. His name is Ryan, and I think you’ll both see why I picked him.

Tonight 1:12 AM
My wife says I get cold exactly like her father did. Meanwhile she flares up exactly like my mother. We didn’t plan that. It’s eerie.
It’s eerie and it’s the most documented pattern in couples work: we’re drawn to what’s familiar, including the wounds. Imago therapy works exactly that seam, and couples say it explains years in a session. Want me to find someone trained in it?
Yes. Someone who can teach us the dialogue thing I’ve read about, properly.
Done. Ryan E., AMFT. Imago trained, teaches the structured dialogue from session one, and couples say it’s the first time they actually felt heard. Weekend openings this week. Want me to introduce you both?

Meet Ryan E., AMFT. Imago trained, teaches the dialogue from session one, and has weekend openings for couples this week.

Good to know

Imago therapy, explained.

The couples approach built on why you chose each other in the first place. Here is the core of it.

The imago is the blueprintImago means image: the unconscious composite of your early caregivers that you carry into partner selection. We’re drawn to what’s familiar, gifts and wounds alike, which is why your partner can push buttons installed decades before you met. That’s the design, not a mistake.
The dialogue is the toolImago’s signature is a structured conversation: one partner speaks, the other mirrors it back, validates, and empathizes before responding. It sounds mechanical and works precisely because it interrupts the reflexes, defending, correcting, counterattacking, that eat normal arguments.
Conflict is the curriculumImago reframes the recurring fight as the marriage’s growth edge: the exact place old business is asking to be finished. Couples stop asking how do we stop fighting and start asking what is this fight trying to heal. That shift changes the entire project.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

How does Abby match us with an Imago therapist?

You tell Abby what keeps flaring and what feels older than the relationship itself. She learns your patterns and your schedule and budget, then brings you a shortlist of Imago-trained therapists with the reason each one fits you both.

What is Imago therapy in plain words?

A couples approach built on the idea that you unconsciously chose a partner who matches an early blueprint, wounds included, and that your recurring conflict is old business surfacing to be finished. The structured dialogue is how you finish it.

What happens in the Imago dialogue?

One partner speaks in short segments. The other mirrors back what they heard, checks they got it, validates the logic, and empathizes, before ever responding. It interrupts every reflex that ruins normal arguments, and couples feel the difference the first time.

Is Imago evidence-based?

Imago has a growing research base showing significant gains in couple satisfaction, and its core mechanisms, structured dialogue, empathy, de-escalation, are the best-supported ingredients in couples work generally.

Do we need to be married or in crisis?

Neither. Imago works for any committed couple, and starting before crisis makes the work easier. Some couples use it as premarital depth work on why they chose each other.

Can we use insurance?

Tell Abby you want to use insurance and she factors it into the match, along with budget, sliding scale, or self-pay if that’s simpler. You’ll know how a therapist handles payment before you ever book.

Does the therapist see our conversations with Abby?

No. Nothing is shared unless you approve it word for word. If you want, Abby can prepare a short intro about your pattern, and you both review it first.
